This week join your host Tiffany Westrich-Robertson, CEO of International Foundation for AiArthritis, as she explains the Method to Our Madness! This episode will give you an insider’s view of the AiArthritis organization and the way the AiArthritis Voices 360 talk show fits into the organization’s mission and projects.In this episode Tiffany revisits one of the first mini-sodes we aired, “The importance of differentiating arthritis types” (November 29th, Mini-Ep2) to demonstrate how we put each topic “on the table” in Step 2 and then revisit it again in Step 5 - after inviting YOU “to the table’ to be part of the conversation. The topic we are building the conversation around today is about the term “arthritis”. Too many people associate the term with a mild condition of aging and do not understand the physical or emotional damage that aiarthritis diseases can have on patients suffering from them. In addition to a lack of support, this lack of understanding can also cause costly delays in diagnosis and treatment when patients or their primary care physicians fail to recognize the symptoms of aiarthritis diseases. These delay diagnosis can result in low remission rates, high prevalence of disability, compromised quality of life, and inflated healthcare costs. This topic is a primary mission point at AiArthritis, and that’s why it will be one of the feature LIVE AiArthritis Voices 360 topics we address in our first AUTO Ball ONLINE event (May 16 - 20th, 2020). So listen to this episode, then be sure to join us, along with special guests, as we take this discussion to Step 5 - one step closer to creating solutions! The AUTO Ball is a gala to celebrate the 450 million people living with AiArthritis diseases worldwide, teach a bigger audience what we do and our impact, and raise awareness by hosting the event with a fun, auto-influence educational theme. This Ball was supposed to be a physical event, but due to COVID-19 we have taken it ONLINE. Now everyone can attend!
